what sort of power/torque do they run? hardly a track toy but torquey and economical likely!

theres a air duct behind the passengers side front grill, at the side of the headlight, run it from there, through the standard hole in battery tray bit and up to the filter, eather that or from down at the lower front grill area. i wouldnt bother with an open filter though on the 1.2 16v...

how much extra weight does it add to the car?

do what i done to my mk2 1.2 16v... 15" wheels, 195/45/15 eagle F1's, Coilovers, Polly bushes, big brakes, strut braces. ull never have so much fun in ur life, mine was miles more fun than my 172 down a backroad untill i put it back to standard today :(

VTES its like VTEC but better........

is it exhaust noise? if so it will probably be the Exhaust flexi pipe, i went thru 3 in 3 months due to catching the cat on the ground but heard standard height ones go to, specially if ran with a fuked dogbone mount bush for a while.

sounds mint mate, i had my old coilovered 1.2 out lastnight for the last time as it went back to standard today and its now my girlfriends. got stoped by police for fuking it round a roundabout at stupid speeds on 3 wheels screaming like f**k. theyre so fun! lol

is that just the single throttle body, gdi exhaust and cams?

its the climate control fan from the interior light area it still spins when the climate controls off.

nice mate looks good, looked best on 15" F1's tho

lights will be illegal coz u cant see reflectors surely? badges dont look great but might just be the camera quality.

filter will suck in hot air and loose you power and torque. and as said due to the thing being steel it will heat up and make the problem even worse!! will sound good but make your car slower! i suffered bad heat soak on my old 1.2 thats why i went back to airbox/pannel filter i cant imagine...

whos is the iceberg 172?

mine took a complete fukin hammering till 140k and if the cambelt hadn't snapped at 80mph in 3rd gear it would still be running now haha

wish i had saved cash and made mine a replica rather than buying the real thing LOL not really! but should look good when its done!

the whistle is the air-con, if you switch it off it goes away, or mine does anyway

he sold KFC? fuk he driving now?

i dont like big wheels but they look quite good, think the eibach sportlines would spoil it with the higher ride height although it would handle better, but its not going to handle that great on 17s anyway so no point in eibachs really unless you want a smoother ride.

got it at 17 now 18

if the corsas standard the 172 will be quicker, mine is quicker than a 2.0 converted gsi about here, pretty equal in 2nd and 3rd but 172 pulls in 4th and 5th

nice wee car. know what everone means about brand new car tho, ive still got 4 years to pay off mine

Speedline 2118's are the only wheels id put on my 172, getting a set soon as fed up of 16s lol

my 1.2 16v one lasted 4 years and 140k miles it was still fine when i removed it too lol my 172 however blew the welds off the centre section at 30k and 3yrs

my old one...

mine was £240 for a cat back, sounded awesome lol

verified 10k? keeping in mind they changed the engine in 2004 to a newer style but still the same basic engine but it requires a different ecu etc afaik

oilovers on a road car are only really worth spending the money on if you want to go low. you can have a car that handles just as well on a much cheaper budget. my choice for not lowering at all would be Eibach Prolines and standard dampers, or go for koni adjustables if he wants to change the...

tbh i was quite interested in how effective it was untill i read the Powerboost valve bit, kinda puts you off.

I use PIAA bulbs cost about £7 from ebay, looks awesome

saw a blue 172 cup lastnight in stirling was behind it, we had a quick blast off a roundabout untill we noticed the police in front lol gave you a flash? had an aftermarket exhaust, anyone from here? i was in my iceberg 172 btw
